12/28 I think they've got to look higher, up in our world, for a brilliant man with a kink in the brain. He may be a Doctor, a lawyer, a merchant, honored in his community by day--good line that, I'll use it some time--and at night, a bloodthirsty assassin. Deacon Brodie--ever hear of him--the Scotch deacon that burgled his parishioners' houses on the quiet? I've been going around the last month, looking at everybody I knew and thinking--are you the Bat? You'll want to sleep with a light in your room after a few days of it. |
